Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?

51% Answer Correctly

AB

O

O-positive

O-negative


Solution

Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.

-40°F is how many °C?

40% Answer Correctly

\({40 \over 9}\)

-40

-8

\(-{40 \over 9}\)


Solution

The formula to convert from F° to C° is:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)

plugging in our values gives:

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-40 - 32)\)

\(C° = {5 \over 9} (-72) = {{-72 \times 5} \over 9}\)

\(C° = {-360 \over 9}\)

\(C° = -40\)


3

An element in the physical state of __________ maintains a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.

82% Answer Correctly

plasma

solid

gas

liquid


Solution

In the liquid state, molecules flow freely around each other and exist at a higher temperature range than the same substance in a solid state. Liquids maintain a constant volume but their shape depends upon the shape of their container.


4

Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?

64% Answer Correctly

light is 1.33 times brighter in a vacuum than it is in water

light is 1.33 times dimmer in a vacuum than it is in water

light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water

light travels 1.33 times slower in a vacuum than it does in water


Solution

The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.


5

Blood is created in:

68% Answer Correctly

the heart

bone marrow

the liver

red blood cells


Solution

Blood is created in bone marrow and is made up of cells suspended in liquid plasma. Red blood cells carry oxygen, white blood cells fight infection, and platelets are cell fragments that allow blood to clot.
